No, thank you.

I came upon this in a restaurant bathroom (after I was finished eating, sadly).

Please say it's not just me - scrubbing your hands with some questionable grainy bowl of something simply does not appeal. Just how long has this stuff been sitting here getting funky? Is this even legal? Do I call the Soap Police?

Mimi's Cafe

Mimi's has funky pagers. I can't be the only one who thinks they look like cheap tasers?

Highly Recommended

Very yummy burgers, though the fries need some work. And no shakes? Come on!

No, Thank You

I would not shop here.

Sadly, I'll bet the local restaurants we dine in...
Do shop here.

Real Life Conversation # 8

Breakfast at a local home cookin restaurant...

Her: What's wrong?

Him: I'm not sure. This sausage... There's something weird about it.

Her: Is it spoiled?

Him: No, it's just...different. Here, taste this.

Her: That's OK, really.

Him: Come on, it's not bad, I'm just trying to figure out what the flavor is.

Her: (Tastes the sausage) Hm!

Him: What?

Her: I think that's real meat.

TV Diner?

Another entry in the "I'm sure this already exists somewhere" files...

There are all sorts of sports bars out there, where folks can get together with other fans and watch sporting events live.

Why not TV Diners? (Get it? It's like TV Dinner, but not. I slay me.) You could get together with other fans and watch House, or CSI Miami, or American Idol, or what have you.

Instead of the lonely activity where you lie mindlessly on the couch, you could watch your favorite shows with a group of other people, talking and laughing while chowing down on fries and chicken strips - or hey, why not a salad?

There could be contests and trivia during the commercial breaks, and all-night events during marathons. Character look-alike contests! You could cancel your cable tv service and only watch TV while at the diner. You'd watch less TV, and when you did it would be a social activity.

There could be different segments of the diner - Poppy stuff like American Idol in this corner, while The Discovery Channel is running in another corner. A nostalgia corner where TV Land is running old re-runs of 90210. I'd go!
